Description:
Craftsmanship, terroir, and precision are the key values of Domäne Wachau under the leadership of Roman Horvath MW and Heinz Frischengruber. Respect for nature and the soil dominates the vignerons’ hard work in the steep vineyards. With over 160 hectares of organic vineyards, Domäne Wachau is Austria’s leading wine estate with organically cultivated vines. Organized into small parcels and worked mainly by hand, each vigneron cultivates less than two hectares on average — allowing them to focus on the needs of the individual plot. The wines from grand single vineyards (ried) such as Achleiten, Brandstatt, and Kellerberg reflect their unique origins and deliver a distinctive puristic style, with both depth and freshness. This is a next generation wine cooperative, as found nowhere else on Earth.

Tasting Note:.
Domäne Wachau Blauer Zweigelt is a great introduction to Austria’s most popular red-wine grape. Fruit-driven aromas of wild strawberry and blackberry are accompanied by forest soil, hints of clove and black pepper fragrances. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant. The mouth-watering acidity balances the soft tannins to make this Zweigelt an enjoyable and pleasant red wine.
